Some analysts use the short-run and long-run effects on the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model to argue that expansionary monetary policy can't affect employment in the long run because in the short run, monetary policy shifts the aggregate:
demand curve to the left, but over time the increase in prices shifts aggregate supply to the right so that GDP will end up going back to its same level of output with a higher price level.

Correct Answer:
D
Expansionary monetary policy, will help increase in consumption
and investment spending. It stimulates the AD and AD curve shifts
to the right. It increases the price level and demand pull
inflation takes place. It causes AS to shift to the right. So, in
the long run, output goes back to the potential output level, but
at a higher price level. So, employment increases in the short run,
but not in the long run.
